Author List and Order

Recently there was a post by physioprof on the co-first author that appears second in the list. While I don't agree to his views that second listed first author to be completely ignored, but it does raise some question about authorship in papers.

While the younger lot generally go for quantity over quality and try to get themselves in any paper they find getting out of the group, many older un-productive ones that have been lying dormant for a long time
